Chris, Corey and Jill shared a skit related to "Kick Out the Ladder".
Participants highlighted their experiences with "Kicking out the Ladder"--insight from the wiki.
Chris highlighted iTunes.
Power Search: nice feature where you can look for an app and sift through the information quickly. It's a search tool that refines your search.
Participants created iTunes accounts if they had not already created one.
Participants (teachers and students) redeemed their iTunes cards.
There was discussion regarding "syncing" accounts to more than one computer/laptop.

During break--it was Christmas!! Every participating Design Team member (teacher) received their iPod. Merry Christmas Design Team 2!!!
Corey highlighted the iPod process (screen saver, attaching the skin to the iPod, syncing cables and head phones, etc.).
Corey demonstrated syncing with his new iPod Touch.
from Michele Schmidt: With our staff starting the incorporation of iPod Touches into our classroom, there is something that we soon faced: The battery draining quickly. One of our teachers did some research and found that when you push the power button, it only puts your iPod to sleep. If you want to turn the iPod off totally so it doesn't continue to use battery, hold down the power button until you see a slider at the top of your screen that is red and slide that to the right. Again, this will turn your iPod totally off (works with iPad also). The drawback: It takes a little longer for it to start.
